Giveaway: Two $50 giftcards to HomeGoods

Update: The first number that came up, 111, had the wrong answer, so I chose again and came back with 163 and179. The latter was booted for being wrong. Then I drew 188, but he entered twice. Finally, an applicable entrant came up — No. 48.

Every time R and I drive past the Fresh Market Commons in Latham, I look at HomeGoods and tell him “that’s where I’ll be at 8 a.m. on Sunday, and every weekend after.” (The grand opening is this Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.)

Yes, it’s true, I love HomeGoods that much and have been anticipating the arrival since they announced they were going into that spot. Do you remember when I first posted it to OTE? Give us that date and you will be entered to win one of two $50 gift cards to HomeGoods.

If you failed to pick up a prize, you are ineligible for one-year from date of the giveaway you won.

If you won in the last 90 days, you are ineligible to win.

Everyone can only answer once. Answering more than once will mean both answers are disqualified.

The winner is chosen at random and all applicable answers stand an equal chance.

If you don’t answer the question, you aren’t eligible to win (a lot of you ended up in this boat in the past).

The contest closes at 1 p.m.

Make sure your correct e-mail is included in the box that says “e-mail” when you submit your comment. That is how we notify winners.

Unless another arrangement is made, prizes are to be picked up at the main Times Union building in Colonie during our business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) within a week of winning, or we will pick a new winner.
